This mushroom lets you squeeze into tiny Warp Pipes and run across water. You can even dash straight up walls!

Hover like a little helicopter with this power-up.

When Toadette finds one of these, she can transform into the super=powered Peachette. (Sorry Luigi—only Toadette can use this item!)

This power-up will make you look like a flying squirrel—and glide like one, too!

A rare variety of the Super Acorn that gives unlimited flight ability through a whole course (or at least until an enemy hits you).

These red-hot flowers grant you the ability to throw fireballs.

This power-packed power-up lets you toss ice balls to freeze enemies in their tracks.

This special suit gives you the powers of the Ice Flower along with better traction on ice, faster swimming, and the ability to slide on your belly.
